Real Tourist guy found

I was going through my inbox today and was scanning through the numerous pictures that usually come in. I came across an email that sounded sincere, and was from a man who said he was the tourist guy.

Initially I shrugged it off as another person looking for his 15 minutes. I read the email over and he again sounded really serious, so as instructed I opened up the attached pictures. As I was looking at them the feeling of amazement came over me, that was him, there is no doubt in my mind that THE tourist guy has finally come forward. The attached pictures not only show the original unedited photo (which I requested as proof) but two other pictures from different angles from the observation deck of the World Trade Center. These three pictures clearly show that this person is actually the tourist guy, and the long search to uncover the identity of him is finally over.

Another site claims to be the "Official" Tourist Guy Website, but now that we know who he is, that claim no longer holds any water. This discovery may also make Volkswagon rethink the deal it made with the Brazilian national for its advertising campaign. Everyone was trying to capitalize on the Tourist Guy buzz that was all over the internet, looking for a quick buck. The actual tourist guy is not looking for money or even recognition, the only reason he came forward was to dispel the claim of who the tourist guy actually is.

Now we know, and so the final chapter of the Tourist Guy book is finally closed. Now what?

I'm at my low bandwith connection now, so I thought I would ask: have you see one with him on game shows, like Hollywood squares or $25,000 pyramid?

Well, I would have had my FREEPER jacket on, so you would have been able to narrow the search. Hell I would have came foward just to save bandwidth here. LOL

And the guy wanted smaller photos to make it harder for people to alter them? ROFL!! Why isn't he loving this?

[testforecho]

LOL Thanks, I needed that after wading into the 600+ monster thread.

Check out post #59.

I think it would have been funnier had he sent in some other photos of himself, like on a vaction trip.

Yeah we need more verification! ;)

Man, I'm like so bummed....still, that's pretty solid proof....you can tell the guy doesn't want to get that much publicity out of it...for now.

They look like stripes to me, not patches, but they seem consistent. The lack of a date stamp on all photos does distrub me.

Isn't there one on the 2nd picture? It says 11/28/97....and I've been up on the WTC in late November. The last time I was there the outfit he was wearing would have been very appropriate. I totally think it's him....

Codebreaker--have you seen this thread? I have to get a USA Today today :)

[Geezerette]

LOL!!! I can just hear Dubya say that!

What really gets me about the Tourist Guy is that serious expression on his face! Makes it all the funnier when he shows up everywhere!

Bump for the TG!
